Brisbane-based developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/azure">Azure</a> is has been greenlit for its $115 million residential project within the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct in Southport

Following the acquisition of the site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/1-clarke-street-southport-qld-4215">1 Clarke Street</a> in October 2025 with development application Lodgement in January 2026, Azure has been granted approval for the 114 terraces which will form the final stage of the wider Lumina development.

“It’s a fantastic milestone for us to receive the green light on our second Gold Coast project,” said Trent Keirnan, Founder of Azure.

“The Gold Coast continues to evolve, with demand for considered, high-quality residences at an all-time high. This project has been thoughtfully shaped to respond to that demand.

“We’ve worked closely with Economic Development Queensland to bring this project forward, and the collaboration has been both proactive and highly considered. Their shared commitment to quality housing outcomes has enabled a streamlined approvals process and a strong result for the precinct.”&nbsp;

Appealing to a wide demographic, the project will deliver a range of two- and three-storey designs comprising a collection of three-bedroom terrace homes as well as one- and two-bedroom apartment-style residences. The designs by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/plus-studio">Plus Studio</a>&nbsp;focus on&nbsp;“urban coastalism”.

Residents will have access to an array of lifestyle amenities, including a resort-style pool with multiple lounging zones and landscaped gardens.

The residential offering will support the thriving Health and Knowledge Precinct, which includes Griffith University, Gold Coast University Hospital, Gold Coast Private Hospital and the new RDX Lumina and Proxima Towers, which are home to a range of health, education and research tenancies, including a 200-place childcare centre.

Azure aims for an off-market release for the project in the third quarter of this year, at the same time as construction is anticipated to start.

Fortis has secured approval for a 57-room hotel at Richmond Square, marking another milestone in the delivery of the $330 million mixed-use precinct in Melbourne's inner east.

The hotel will occupy Levels 1 and 2 of Carmine House and forms part of Fortis' vision for Richmond Square, a precinct that will bring together apartments, hospitality, wellness and lifestyle offerings between Richmond and Cremorne.

Once complete, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/richmond-square-1-wiltshire-street-richmond-vic-3121">Richmond Square</a> will comprise 107 residences across Wiltshire House and Carmine House, alongside the hotel, hospitality venues, wellness facilities and a range of services aimed at both residents and visitors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13181 project_image_fid=348529]

The approval adds another layer to what Fortis is creating at Richmond Square, as developers increasingly look beyond standalone apartment buildings and towards mixed-use precincts that provide amenity and activation beyond the front door.

Jordan Winada, Head of Acquisitions (Commercial) Victoria at Fortis, said the approval was an important step in delivering the broader vision for the project.

"Richmond Square has always been about creating a destination rather than simply delivering residential apartments," Winada said.

"As buyer expectations continue to evolve, we're seeing increasing demand for developments that offer convenience, connection and access to high-quality experiences and amenity as part of everyday life.

"The hotel approval allows us to further realise that vision and create a precinct where residential living is complemented by hospitality, services and amenity in a way that is rarely seen in Melbourne's CBD and city fringe."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13181 project_image_fid=348530]

The hotel will also support a range of optional services for residents of Carmine House, including housekeeping and linen refresh programs, laundry and dry-cleaning services, in-residence food and beverage delivery, grocery and pantry stocking services, and concierge assistance.

The approval comes as owner-occupiers continue to dominate Australia's new apartment market, with buyers increasingly seeking developments that offer convenience, flexibility and lifestyle amenity alongside their homes.

Winada said buyers are now placing greater emphasis on the broader precinct and surrounding amenity when making purchasing decisions.

"Residential amenity is no longer limited to what sits within an apartment building. Buyers are increasingly assessing the broader lifestyle ecosystem surrounding their home and the ways in which a precinct can support their day-to-day needs.

"Richmond Square has been designed to provide that experience through a carefully curated mix of residential, hospitality and lifestyle offerings that work together to create a more connected way of living."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13181 project_image_fid=348534]

The hotel is expected to open in early 2027, with the operator to be announced later this year.

Further hospitality, retail and lifestyle tenants are also expected to be revealed in the coming months as Fortis continues to shape the offering at Richmond Square.

Having successfully expanded into a new region with its Caloundra apartment development, Sunset by Dusk Group, growing South East Queensland developer Dusk Group is again venturing into new territory.

The developer has lodged plans for a 70-apartment project in the Moreton Bay region, to be known as <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sunrise-on-sutton-25-sutton-street-redcliffe-qld-4020">Sunrise on Sutton</a>, named after its prime Sutton Street location, just one street back from Suttons Beach.

<img alt="Sutton" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="88a9f9ee-6ace-47f5-a0c6-8fb134b27e98" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-15%20at%209.20.42%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=iMXmJ7_BNZAmCt.jjupMSLdV_Qa9zJAK" />

Dusk Group Directors Huw Feeney and Anthony Short seized the opportunity to acquire the near-1,800 sqm amalgamated corner site at Sutton and Ella Streets for their first project in the area.

They have again enlisted MAS Architecture Studio, the architects behind Sunset by Dusk, to design the new eight-storey development.

The building will comprise a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments and has been designed to maximise views towards Suttons Beach, Margate Beach and Moreton Bay.

Pending approvals, the project could launch before the end of the year.

<img alt="Dusk" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="90c0c26c-096c-4ceb-8c58-f8303aea542f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-15%20at%209.20.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=nw8bqQtpOrf5nA95tuYhtqdB59YUzmO0" />

The development will provide 111 car parking spaces and 40 bicycle spaces.

Positioned within walking distance of Suttons Beach, Bluewater Square, Redcliffe Hospital and the Redcliffe Paceway, the development will sit within one of the peninsula's increasingly urbanised coastal pockets.

Redcliffe's new apartment market remains exceptionally tight, with Gardner Vaughan Group's One Redcliffe currently the only new apartment development actively being marketed in the beachside suburb.

It's another beach-focused development for Dusk Group, who has seen considerable success at its Caloundra apartment development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sunset-by-dusk-group-caloundra-5-7-bombala-terrace-caloundra-qld-4551">Sunset by Dusk Group</a>.

Over 80 per cent of the 36 apartments have sold ahead of its early 2027 completion.

Leading Brisbane developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/consolidated-properties">Consolidated Properties Group (CPG)</a> has completed and settled $450 million worth of apartments at Monarch Residences in Toowong, marking one of Brisbane’s most significant and prestigious riverfront residential completions in recent years.

The final apartment at Monarch sold at auction on the 30th May for $4.1m.&nbsp;

The milestone has been marked at a ribbon-cutting ceremony at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/monarch-residences-toowong-600-coronation-drive-toowong-qld-4066">Monarch Residences</a>, with Cr Penny Wolff highlighting the importance of completing major residential projects to boost the city’s much-needed housing supply.

The 224 apartments, delivered across two 15-level towers, are now officially in the hands of owners, including Brisbane downsizers, families and professionals who have traded traditional houses for apartment living. The completion underscores sustained demand for absolute riverfront living in Brisbane’s inner west.

<img alt="$450M Monarch Residences sells out as Brisbane riverfront demand surges" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="56ae05e9-092f-41f0-98a1-a10984fdd171" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/ROBNN_MONARCHLAUNCHEVENT-131.jpg?VersionId=p76J6weGZqseNrE6aOAjmAHUah.y65Gd" />

Monarch Residences was planned and delivered over four years on a 1.2-hectare parcel with more than 130 metres of direct frontage to the Brisbane River, occupying one of the last remaining true riverfront sites of its scale and orientation within close proximity to the CBD. The site has been transformed from an underutilised, derelict block of land, into a thriving residential precinct with Middenbury House at its centre.&nbsp;

Consolidated Properties Group CEO and Chairman Don O’Rorke says the project’s completion represents the culmination of years of careful planning, design collaboration, market conviction and outstanding team delivery.

“We announced Monarch Residences in late 2021 and it’s been one of the most strongly received residential projects in our 45-year history,” Mr O’Rorke said.

"We are incredibly grateful to the outstanding team who helped bring Monarch Residences to life. A special thank you to Hutchinson Builders and their hardworking labour force for delivering a development of exceptional quality that our residents will be proud to call home for many years to come.

“Brisbane City Council and Titles Queensland also played a huge role in getting residents into their homes early through the pilot programs they ran to speed up the approval processes. They understand the challenges of the housing industry and are doing something about it.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=211466]

Consolidated Properties Group Head of Residential, James MacGinley said Monarch Residences showed what could be achieved when private industry and government worked together to deliver new housing for Brisbane.

“Monarch Residences has delivered more than 200 new apartments in Brisbane’s inner-west at a time when additional housing supply is critically important,” MacGinley said.

“It’s fantastic to see residents now moving into this landmark riverfront development, which reflects the strength of collaboration between Council and the project team throughout delivery.

“All government agencies played a significant hand in achieving a fast-tracked outcome for Monarch Residences with Brisbane City Council, Urban Utilities, Energex and Titles Queensland assisted to remove hurdles to achieve settlements.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=302326]

With Monarch Residences now complete, CPG has launched River Living, a bespoke on-site property management service designed to enhance the resident experience. The service will support all future CPG residential projects, including the recently announced <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/gloriette-30-bedivere-street-yeerongpilly-qld-4105">Gloriette</a> in Yeerongpilly and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/castile-47-skyring-terrace-newstead-qld-4006">Castile</a> in Newstead.

The completion also marks the opening of a prized leasing opportunity at the heritage-listed Middenbury House, built in 1865 and which has been carefully restored and integrated into the broader masterplan.&nbsp;

CPG said the adaptive reuse of the landmark riverfront residence presents an opportunity to introduce a complementary boutique tenancy that respects the site’s historic significance while activating the riverfront frontage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=211495]

Colliers Director of Residential Andrew Scriven said the move-in phase highlights continued demand for completed premium riverfront apartments in Brisbane.

“Residents are now experiencing firsthand the scale, craftsmanship and irreplaceable riverfront position that Monarch offers,” Scriven said.

“Opportunities to secure a brand-new, completed residence on Brisbane’s absolute riverfront are exceptionally rare. Combined with the proven track record of Consolidated Properties Group and Hutchinson Builders, combined with a design vision brought to life by some of Australia’s leading architects and designers, Monarch represents a unique opportunity to purchase a home of enduring quality and prestige.”

Monarch Residences was designed in collaboration with Melbourne-based architect Wardle Studio, alongside leading national practice Cottee Parker, with construction delivered by Hutchinson Builders.

Consolidated Properties Group sells out Monarch Residences as Brisbane riverfront demand surges

An entity directed by HSN's Rafi Assouline and Rebel Property's Allen Linz has filed plans for an impressive new precinct in Woolloomooloo.

The major mixed-use development would transform a prominent William Street site into a new residential village anchored by affordable housing and a large public park.

The proposal, submitted as a State Significant Development Application, covers 164-172 and 174-194 William Street, a 6,398 sqm site between Forbes Street and Dowling Street on the southern edge of Woolloomooloo.

Designed by fjcstudio in collaboration with Bangawarra, Studio Bright and Tribe Studio Architects, the scheme would deliver 227 apartments across four residential buildings ranging in height up to 18 storeys, alongside retail space, public domain improvements and a new publicly accessible park.

<img alt="Rebel" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0eb59b7c-914a-4a5c-b849-3a56749f5e93" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-12%20at%2011.18.51%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=mxM6EEqeoLjrCiTlCzTKTvzpKuh6kSkH" />

It's another design scheme for Rebel, who took <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/first-look-rebel-property-group-takes-woolloomooloo-precinct-to-nsw-government">concept plans to the NSW Gov late last year</a>.

The latest plans will be a mix of 167 build-to-sell apartments and 60 affordable apartments, with the affordable housing component representing 15 per cent of the project's gross floor area. The apartment mix includes 12 one-bedroom, 53 two-bedroom, 89 three-bedroom apartments and 13 penthouses, while the affordable housing component would comprise 42 one-bedroom and 18 two-bedroom apartments.

<img alt="Rebel" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3b3d4553-8a8c-4af5-aa8c-519ffb1e28c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-12%20at%2011.20.12%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=_Yb6ibN7eDnOtQjCNDK2eviORa4qzgv." />

Rebel Property is seeking to take advantage of the NSW Government's infill affordable housing bonus provisions under the Housing SEPP, which provide additional floor space and height in exchange for the delivery of affordable housing for a minimum of 15 years. The planning pathway allows a 30 per cent increase in floor space ratio and building height where 15 per cent of the development is dedicated to affordable housing.

&nbsp;

At the centre of the development is a 1,356 sqm sunlit public park designed to become a new community gathering space at the gateway to Woolloomooloo. The park would be complemented by a network of pedestrian laneways connecting William Street with the surrounding streets, improving permeability through what is currently a largely impermeable block.

<img alt="Rebel" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="257af931-a393-4007-8c6d-7219796df58d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-12%20at%2011.20.51%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=KAHy94GrhaReFsWTGDKfy39EDJ8gEEv4" />

The design team says the public domain has been heavily influenced by the site's topography and Aboriginal cultural heritage, drawing on the escarpments, gullies and landscape characteristics that historically defined the area before urbanisation. The landscape design has been developed in partnership with First Nations consultancy Bangawarra.

The project would be delivered across four separate buildings. The William Street East and William Street West buildings, designed by fjcstudio, would contain the majority of the apartments. Melbourne-based Studio Bright has designed the Forbes Street building, while Tribe Studio Architects is responsible for the Dowling Street building.

Rebel had secured approval for the concept plans late last year.

The gardening guru television host Brendan Moar has bought back into Sydney’s inner west.
Just months after selling in Camperdown, Moar has bought a Newtown terrace (pictured above).
Costing $1.88 million, it has been bought in partnership with showbiz mates.
Set on a 196 square metre block, it has a deep backyard full of potential, in what Raine &amp; Horne selling agent Michael Harris ­described as a peaceful pocket of Newtown.
Moar’s three-level Camperdown home, marketed as a poolside entertainer, fetched $2.5 million.
Decorated in an eclectic mix of tastes, it had traded at $1,265,000 in 2009 with its garden having been featured on Channel 10’s The Living Room.
Moar has twice been voted favourite male subscription television presenter at the ASTRA Awards, having appeared on shows including Foxtel’s Dry Spell Gardening.
Moar has been busy working on property projects on the NSW south coast, ­including a Lake Tabourie holiday accommodation project.
The progress of the lake house home fit-out was documented on Moar’s Instagram.
It is now advertised as a designer retro beach shack, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms capable of sleeping six guests with a floor mattress.
It says it captures the spirit and fun of classic Australian beach house life. Even a record player comes with the letting.
Moar also secured an aptly named property, Pelican Brief, a waterfront home on Burrill Lake — which seems set to be his next endeavour after paying $645,000 for it last October.

Penrith Panthers player Josh Mansour and wife Daniella have sold their Turrella apartment near Wolli Creek, as they look to move closer to Penrith.
Mansour wants to cut back his commute to training from the apartment that they bought off the plan in 2014, a year before the block was completed.
The 128 square metre, three bedroom apartment has a wide 21 square metre terrace.
Cobden &amp; Hayson Marrickville agents Les Salem and Jim Nikolopoulos sold the apartment after having a $750,000 auction price guide.
The couple wed in 2016. They had their first child, daughter Saina, last November.

Forres, an 1880s Hawthorn property once home to James Martin, the youngest Australian to die serving at war, has been listed for November 15 auction.
The history of the six bedroom Mary Street home was described in the 2001 book Soldier Boy: The true story of Jim Martin, the youngest ANZAC by Anthony Hill.
The 14 year old soldier lived at Forres when he enlisted in 1915, claiming to be 18 years old.
He was deployed to Egypt before going to Gallipoli, where he died of typhoid on a hospital ship.
The facade remains intact, with a rear extension by local architect John O’Laughlin. 
The home was built for Hector McDonald, a solicitor who worked for the Grace Park Syndicate, which undertook the sales of the residential allotments.
The Martin family leased it and ran it as a boarding house.
It is set for November 15 auction through Jellis Craig agents Richard Winneke and Campbell Ward with $8 million hopes.

A South Yarra home credited as the first design by the late Melbourne architect Wayne Gillespie has hit the market.
The 1970s home, dubbed The Squash Court, has been renovated since it last traded for $1.62 million in 2011 when it was sold by Latina Pasta co-founder Fraser Hopkins, who had paid $108,560 from the Palm Beach-based Barbara Robertson.
Gillespie's signature touches are still prevalent in the Cunningham Street home.
Floor to ceiling glass opens from the dining room to the rear garden, allowing for the maximisation of light.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms, each with their own ensuite, and a home office.
Kay &amp; Burton South Yarra agents Nicole Gleeson and Mark McKenzie are seeking $2,675,000.
The 1972 build was Gillespie’s first independent project and his own home.

The open plan state of the art kitchen, living and dining space open to a terrace with views to the CBD.
Harris paid $6,075,000 off the plan in 2008, a year before the building was complete.
RT Edgar Toorak agents Sarah Case and Rudy Van Der Berg have the listing.

The fashion pioneer and Ingham chicken heir Robby Ingham and wife Sarah have listed Ocean Pines, their oceanfront South Coast property.
More than $10 million is tipped for the vacant 40-hectare land parcel which last sold for a then Gerringong record $7 million in 2012.
No work has been undertaken at the cattle grazing property although lengthy legal proceedings secured its prized development approval.
Facing opposition from the council, the Land &amp; Environment Court gave permission in late 2016 to build a luxury retreat designed by architect Nick Tobias.
They secured approvals for a 10 bedroom residence on the top of the hill on the first headland south of Gerringong township.
The 3000 sqm residence is estimated as set to cost $5 million to build.
Tobias envisaged grass on the rooftop on the doughnut shaped house.

Racehorse owner Max Whitby has sold his $12.5 million whole floor Villard, Potts Point apartment.
It was <a href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:W_HuY60Ee6AJ:https://www.realestate.com.au/property-apartment-nsw-potts%2Bpoint-424905222%2019%2F18%20macleay" target="_blank">the three bedroom three bathroom apartment</a> offered recently as a $5000 a week rental through Ray White Double Bay.
It cost $6.6 million in 2012 when the three-bedroom sub-penthouse was bought by Whitby and his late wife, Jennifer from the Elizabeth Bay-bound retired car dealer Ray Harris and his wife Robyn.
The Macleay Street complex was designed by architect Ercole Palazzetti.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/10/25/Max2.jpg" alt="">
Whitby’s apartment was also previously owned by David Kunde, who sold it to the Harris family in 2006 for $7,387,500.
Its first owner was the late interior designer Garth Barnett who bought it off the plan in 1998 for $2.15 million and sold it the following year for $3.55 million.
The three-bedroom sub-penthouse of the Villard sold for $12.5 million ranks second only to the $15 million paid in 2012 by liquor industry pioneer John Piven-Large for the nearby Pomeroy penthouse and a separate apartment below.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/10/25/Max3.jpg" alt="">
The off market sale occurred last night in what the R&amp;W agency described as a "positive sale."
Heidi Onisforou is currently still seeking $9 million for her apartment on the other side of Macleay Street, set above Zinc Cafe.
There have been a string of prestige sales over the past five months in the village.
In June Macquarie executive John Wilson sold his Pomeroy apartment for $10.05 million.
The apartment had previously traded for $6 million in 2010 when sold by Di Jagelman.
Whitby's horse Graff finished fifth in The Everest earlier this month.

A Mosman home that was briefly owned by the 1970s soapie star Abigail has been listed for the first time since its sale in 1978.
The renovated <a href="https://www.belleproperty.com/listings/713119/23-killarney-street-mosman-nsw-2088/" target="_blank">1950s two storey, three bedroom property</a> comes with interiors by Angela Steyn.
It was in 1976 when then TV stars, Abigail Rogan and husband Mark Hashfield, bought the Killarney Street house for $83,000 with the legal paperwork lodged by solicitor Danny Sankey.
It sold for $93,000.
At the time she was starring in The Young Doctors.

Steven Lowy, the retailing family scion, has been finally confirmed as the mystery $14.2 million buyer of a rare Camp Cove offering.
The confirmation comes after he and wife Judy lodged plans to add the acquisition into their existing compound where their three land acquisitions have totalled $25.7 million.
They have been on the beach at Watsons Bay since 1991 when they commissioned a contemporary house by Allen Jack Cottier, which won the 1994 Wilkinson Award for outstanding architecture. 
The Lowys bought their original beachfront block from nightclub owner Robbie Griff for $2.5 million, ignoring previously approved Rod Learoyd house plans in favour of a design by Peter Stronach.
It was late last year when the 525 square metre beachfront Victoria Street block with a single level weatherboard cottage sold under the hammer.
It was knocked down the veteran property developer Philip Wolanski, who advised he was representing an undisclosed buyer.
It was quickly mooted they were the neighbours, the Lowy family.
Held for over nine decades, it was sold by the Webb family.
The Valuer General had previously valued the property at $8.5 million.
The neighbours have bolstered the Lowy's approval prospects by writing a letter to "support Steven and Judy Lowy's proposed plans".
The $2.1 million plans lodged by Tim Allison Associates include rebuilding a sea wall and adding a new landscaped beachfront garden for privacy and re-opening the veranda.
They even plan to reinstate chimneys.
The Lowy's three adjoining beachfront properties along the beach total 2,590 square metres. 
The family's prior expansion came in 2009 spending $9 million on another 1,000 square metres bought from Karen Beck, using another mate, Simon Wilkenfeld as the purchasing stalking horse.
